In the forty-sixth episode we explore the Hedging Fallacy, starting with Trump lying about always knowing it was a pandemic, and then lying about Google's coronavirus website.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at lots of Tories lying about the £350 million they promised the NHS and then Priti Patel backtracking on the importance of low-skilled workers.
In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from When Harry Met Sally... and Dallas.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we discuss misinformation about the coronavirus, make an apology, and listen to QAnon believer Liz Crokin.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)
